The Disturbed Violent Offender
Craftways
one subject that serious students want most to know about, other than their specialty, is how academic life is lived and how scholarly work is carried out. Their curiosity is equally shared by those interested in how to improve the quality and quantity of their work. With few exceptions, the time honored word-of-mouth approach is all there has been until now; how one works is rarely a subject seriously discussed in print. Craftways is intended to…

Labelling and Juvenile Court Dispositions
This research tests three hypotheses implicit in the societal reaction perspective, with data on approximately 3,300 juvenile court dispositions involving the members of a birth cohort of 1,100 violent juveniles. The results indicate, contrary to the implications of the labelling perspective, that defendants' social attributes play little role in this court's decisions. Two findings, however, provide some support for labellers' contentions. First…

"The "Booty Bandit
In the juvenile institution discussed in this paper, 15 youths are committed to sexual exploitation of weaker inmates. These "booty bandits" are older, black youths from the ghetto who avoid emotional involvement with their victims and merely use them for their own physical release. Indignant about their own exploitation at the hands of "white society," they quickly become sexual exploiters in this institution, usually exploiting passive whites. …

An empirical study of the psychiatric probation-commitment procedure
A three-and-a-half month empirical study of psychiatric probation substantiates previous reports that have described the commitment procedure as largely perfunctory, ritualistic, impersonal, superficial, and presumptive of mental illness. This paper focuses on the need for concern about the manner in which the procedure fails to protect the basic civil rights of psychiatric patients
The prevention of hospitalization in schizophrenia
Acutely psychotic schizophrenics were randomly assigned to one of three groups: an experimental group of patients home on drugs and public health nursing care, and two control groups—one receiving placebo and public health nursing home care, the other receiving state hospital care. For a thirty-month period it was demonstrated that over three-quarters of the experimental group could be successfully maintained at home. Five years later, gradual er…
Self Concept as an Insulator Against Delinquency
mHIS study is concerned with sixth-grade boys 1 in the highest delinquency areas in Columbus, Ohio, who have not become delinquent and who are not expected to become delinquent. What insulates an early teen-age boy against delinquency? Is it possible to identify certain components that enable young adolescent boys to develop or maintain non-delinquent habits and patterns of behavior in the growing up process
The Self Component in Potential Delinquency and Potential Non-Delinquency
there are a number of different cults on the market at the same time. It is plausible that important differences exist between the sort of person who was attracted to Krishna Venta and those who find themselves aroused by a different sort of appeal.8 The evidence reported in this paper would not enable us to predict which of several competing cults might be selected by a cult-prone (institutionally alienated but religiously intense) person. Much …

Levels of Occupational Aspiration
A RECURRING theme in the stratification literature emphasizes the widespread acceptance of the success imperative in American society. Upward social mobility is not only a possibility but something to be actively sought. Although the rewards of mobility are consistently stressed, some individuals show a greater desire to achieve these rewards, while others seem more content with their current status and expectations. What accounts for this differ…

Social Class, Expectations, and Performance of Mental Patients
The influence of social class and expectations on the posthospital performance of sixty-two married female mental patients is examined here. Both class and expectations were posited as interrelated determinants of performance. The results indicate that this thesis is highly questionable. Social class did not correlate significantly with performance; patient expectations, on the other hand, were related to such performance in the working class but…
Decision-Making in a Mental Hospital
This paper attempts to examine the decision-making process in a small, institute type of psychiatric hospital in terms of the differences in real, perceived, and ideal influence patterns of 53 mental health specialists. It was hypothesized that these decision-making patterns would reflect the influence of a dual criteria system with respect to the organization and functioning of the hospital. These criteria are, first, the traditional medical bur…

Preferences for Male or Female Children
A questionnaire was administered to 380 university students, about equally divided between males and females, to determine the respondent's preference for a child of a particular sex. When respondent's were asked to cite preference if they could have only 1 child, 92% of the males and 66% of the females preferred their only child to be a boy. Although the response was overwhelmingly in favor of a boy, males and females did differ significantly at…

Self concept as a predictor of juvenile delinquency
Is direction of socialization stable through early adolescence? A cross-sectional assessment of 12- to 15-year-old children in Akron, Ohio, by sex, race, and type of neighborhood was made. Average scores for the various age groups were found to be quite stable, pointing to a differential internalization of direction of self and to a possibility of working preventively most effectively with 12-year-olds
